Rolling Right Turns and No Right Turns On Red
PhotoEnforced.com today added a new category of photo enforcement "right turn cameras" to compliment our growing list of "red light cameras" and "speed cameras." As of today we have added 44 locations where illegal right turns are photo enforced from around the U.S. and will be adding many more as the data starts to trickle in from users.
We are starting to see a growing number of right turn cameras popping-up around the U.S. that use traditional red light camera technology to enforce illegal right turns. These new cameras are typically enforcing illegal right turns red or rolling right turns. Illegal rolling right turns are when a driver does not come to a complete stop before making the turn. Illegal right turns are when the driver makes a right turn on red regardless if they camer to a complete stop. The fines in California are $159 and right turn cameras are also being used in Missouri $100), Tenessee ($100), Texas ($75) and Maryland ($75).
These right turn photo enforced intersections often surprise drivers because there are not very many intersections currently regulated. These intersections usually prevent drivers from turning right who might have limited visibility 0t mighy be moving at a speed that is unsafe. I still haven't figured out why rolling right turns are such a big deal that they have to be photo enforced. Its possible that bikers or pedestrians often are frequenting the sidewalks or streets and the cities want drivers to be extra cautious.

An excellent addition to photoenforced - you should also consider adding 'speed on green' as this is also a likely next category for these cameras.
Speed on Green locations are currently in the PhotoEnforced.com database but they list as "Both Red Light & Speed Camera".
If I remember correctly, Santa Ana and Fullerton have an unusually high number of right turn tickets in the past. Highwayrobbery.net mentioned this on the site. I think I narrowly escaped getting cited for a right turn in Fullerton at Magnolia & Orangethorpe a few months ago. The right turn arrow had been on, and turned yellow as I approached to go east on Orangethorpe. As I got into the crosswalk, it turned red, and I think I saw a flash go off, though my front wheels just crossed before it turned red. I happen to have clear plastic covers over a blue plate, and it may have blinded the camera. I never received a notice to this date, thus passing the 15 day deadline rule.
I recently got a ticket from a red light camera for a right turn on red. Can't figure out why, but seems like it could be for a rolling stop -- guess I need to pay it? - Milwaukee ave and Dundee in Wheeling, IL - Donna Digilio
they need to have count down at red lights because you don't know how long the green light been on.
My wife got a ticket from a red light camera in Wheeling too. She was making a right turn and there was no sign that said no right turn on red. She is positive that she came to a stop. I guess its time to fight this $100 ticket.
Here's how unconstitutional this law is in Kansas City, Missouri. No due process! My car is registered to me and wife. I'm mailed the ticket since i'm the first on registration. How can the court prove who was driving if they don't have photos of the driver??They have rewritten their traffic code to make the primary car owner responsible for this right turn on red light violation? They make the level of guilt similar to a parking ticket? What happen to beyond a resonable doubt and having the Government proove their case. I have a court date set in March to see this shinanigan with a front seat view.
I got a ticket for turning right on red during certain posted hours, and honestly I did not see either sign posted. I went back to the intersection and saw that it indeed had times posted, but then when I got the ticket, the officer said he could not tell me how much the ticket was for, because they are not allowed to post the amount????!!!!! Strange, very strange. Now I'm trying to find it on line and cannot find the fee. When I call the number for the ticket line, it just keeps ringing busy.....seems like they don't want me to have the info! (Indiana)
I just got a rolling right turn ticket. I did not know it was against the law. Why is it not against the law (to not come to a complete stop and turn on a driveway) if same rules apply. Here is my case. I was driving, the light was yellow turning into red when I got to the corner it was red, but sends I was turning and had looked to see if any PED's where X...and all was clear I made the turn. I did not stop because I did not see any danger and mainly because the light was yellow.
Aside of this. Do you open your eyes and see or just open your eyes. Do you know any info on what Big Brother is (NOT TV SHOW)? Do you know that there is a chip called (RFID MICROCHIP)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDhDrFrs7as that will have all your information and use it to help you or against you. It will give government and other people the ability to know all your record with a scan. You can be track by check points that will be in places like these cameras. Did you know that all your calls are recorded and all your e-mails and personal pictures that are send by e-mail are saved and can be seen by the government?
My point is that if you are mad about a ticket wait a few years and you will be ANGRY.
One thing that I have learned is the WAR is FREEDOM and PEACE is SLAVERY.
You fight for your freedom ...but obey (be at peace) when you are a slave. I don't mean to say that war is good but think about it do you obey or fight. You chose to go to work you chose to not kill you chose to pay tickets, and you are at peace and not in war. But what happens when someone tries to take $100 out of your pocket. Do you let them? Or do you fight. If you let them you are a slave, if you fight them you are free. By fight I mean, do something, like say something scream for help anything that lets you know that you did not let the person take your money. That you try. But did not let them... because you are not a slave...WE ARE NOT SLAVES GET ANGRY TODAY FIGHT FOR YOUR FREEDOM.
